Thousands march in Los Angeles to denounce the Iranian government’s deadly crackdown on anti-government protesters.

The city is home to the world’s largest Iranian diaspora.

Several hundred also rally in New York City.

Protesters can be seen carrying signs condemning a “New Holocaust,” a “genocide in the making,” and the “terror” of the Iranian government.
